Rodgers closing in on signing

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers admits he does not have a "wheelbarrow load" of money to spend in the transfer window but is closing in on his first signing.

However, he has stressed any new arrival will have to have the right character as well as technical ability.

"We don't have a wheelbarrow load of money, there is not the money flying about people think there is," said the Northern Irishman. "There certainly won't be as many [signings] as is being labelled out there."
